Christ my God, set my heart on fire with love in You, that in its flame I may love You with all my heart, with all my mind, and with all my soul and with all my strength, and my neighbor as myself, so that by keeping Your commandments I may glorify You the Giver of every good and perfect gift. Amen.

Lol thank you! I've been drifting in and out of sleep. My mothers dog is sleeping with me... She's watching wrestling with me at the moment... They've gave me from some really good pain medication, so it is helping a lot.

Conquer evil men by your gentle kindness, and make zealous men wonder at your goodness. Put the lover of legality to shame by your compassion. With the afflicted be afflicted in mind. Love all men, but keep distant from all men.—St. Isaac of Syria

I was blessed with only one....and that one was hanging out a bit since it had no tooth on the bottom to bite onto. When they took it out, the worst part was the novocaine shot into the roof of my mouth!

Hope you feel better soon!

Feel better, Devin. Maybe you should invoke the intercessions of St Apollonia, she's the patron saint of Dentists and tooth problems.

God bless,Severian

Hope you feel better soon and enjoy the pain-free feeling (with proper use of meds, when needed, of course). I hope you found your favorite foods that are a-ok to eat after the surgery! I think I remember drinking room temp veggie and chicken broth and eating jello at first, and soon graduating to some of my favorite foods: stuffing, cranberry sauce, lipton's chicken soup, mashed potatoes...mmm. I was home from college, so I made a little vacation of it! My favorite foods, a pile of books on the dresser, and lots of restful sleep.

I wish you the same.

Might want to try some apple sauce tomorrow. Also, in March I had to have a gum graft redone. I do not like tea, but the Mrs. bought me some with tannins in it, and said it would make my mouth feel better -- It did. Either way, LORD have mercy!

Its been a couple days now and I'm feeling much better, no pain at all. My left side had swollen real big yesterday, but after leaving ice on it last night, it has gone down significantly. (though still swollen)

I also started brushing, and rinsing my mouth yesterday. It seems I'm making some pretty good progress. My diet has pretty much consisted of pudding (vanilla, chocolate and tapioca), mashed potatoes, soup (tomato and chicken noodle) and smoothies. Though it is getting to the point where I can probably start taking on tougher foods.
